INTRO
The biggest mistake a new FE boater can make when building their first boat is choosing a power combination that is not properly matched. In most cases this leads to excessive heat with in the system. Heat is electronics worst enemy, too much will certainly destroy any electrical component.

Over the last several years, the most difficult decision in choosing brushless power is KV selection. Please read through the Motor section to understand how this is done.

POWER SYSTEM
The 5 key components that make up a complete Power System in a FE hull are the following:

- Cells
- Hull
- ESC
- Motor
- Prop

The most successful order in which these components are selected is

1) Hull
2) Cell Count
3) Motor
4) ESC
5) Prop
